So far the only comments have been 'everyone knows this already', but I did not, so thank you for posting it
They're part of today's lucky 10000.

After seeing this comic for the first time years ago I always try to keep it in mind when someone tells me they are just learning about something. We all learn similar things for the first time only at different parts of our lives and being able to be a part of helping someone learn something new is a great feeling.
I got to show my niece and nephew the diet coke and mentos thing. It has become a core memory for the 3 of us and was one of my top 10 funnest days of my life. Sharing knowledge is fun.
Just because something is old knowledge doesn't mean it's common knowledge!
People get so weird about that. Yeah I knew, but before I knew, I didn't.
because they are focused on themselves. They don't want to see on a public forum an information they already know, not thinking that this information may be useful to others. It's the Me Me Me attitude.
Knowing about something before others (and bragging about it) gives people a feeling of self-satisfaction.
didnt know this either
Same here, this is first time I know...
Right! I didn't know about it. It makes me wonder about which other things I don't know because people don't share it thinking it's common knowledge.
